Really?... you're serious right now. I have a question... If this were next door to your house and one of these apex predators weather it be a lion
or tiger had entered your back yard , would you have an officer kill it immediately to save you, or would you wait for a zookeeper to come with a
tranq and let the animal eat you or your family?....

I don't understand why some of you are so myopic when it comes to this , yes it's a tragedy , yes it sucks for the animals... but puting humans at
risk of being eaten to wait for a humane way to deal with these animals is crazy.

All of you animal first people , if you love them so much.... if their lives are truly equal to yours , I'm sure there are some lions in a pride
somewhere in africa starving right now , please go book a flight over there and offer them yourself to eat to save them from starvation....... yeah ,
that sounds stupid right?.... almost as stupid as letting dozens of lions, tigers, bears and other apex predators roam around suburbia.

Also, NONE of you better be eating any sort of meat or wearing leather , or own furs or wear makeup or use anything else thats tested on animals.

Alex Jones always warned, that a particular type of "person" was being selected for law enforcement and TSA now. Not smart, and psychopathic.
Stupid, Evil, and Lazy, to help traumatize everyone and destroy your spirit, your will.
I'd wish they'd accidently tick off the Cartel south of the border. You know what they do to the rent-a-fuzz there.

Seriously dude? This is your best response? We're talking WILD animals. Not dogs and cats that got loose. Grow the hell up. This has nothing to do
with cops. This was about protecting the people and not letting LIONS,TIGERS,BEARS terrorize a community that they didn't belong in. You want to blame
anyone,blame the jack ass that decided to kill himself and set them free.

Haha don't make me laugh. No, I would not be scared if they were in my backyard, I'm not a scared little girl anf I have guns if they attack me. I
would try my best to spare there lives. Not shoot them in the back like cops are use to doing!!!

No matter how hard they try, they won't catch them all. My heart is with the 1 percent of predators that get away and become successful hunters of
humans. Kind of payback for all their kind who have been mecillessly hunted and trophied and caged and zooed and circused. Whats that you say? Thats
cruel on my part?

Poohah. its hardly as insensitive and as cruel as humans have been to them.

No one is calling you a scared little girl, I'm just trying to make you see logic. you still haven't answered the question I posed. I'm all for
animals rights , I'm not a big fan of them being held in captivity but I don't judge others that do enjoy that. I don't know many people that respect
animals more than hunters do, TRUE HUNTERS. Most of the people complaining here go to the market and get their meat there and think cows and pigs come
from the cow and pig tree , it's nice and easy for them and they don't have to get their hands dirty or look into that animals eyes as its spirit
leaves it's body.

2 years ago I had to put down a deer that someone hit and just left there to die in the middle of the road , it was on it's way out but I couldn't
stand to see it's suffering... The quickest and most humane way was to bleed it out by knife. (and permanently stained my car interior afterwards) Do
you know what kind of noises deer make when you kill them? Do you know what it feels like to look into those giant eyes of theirs and watch the light
leave them? It doesn't feel good, but you justify it because you eased it suffering. I wonder how many of the people here would have done that?
Probably none of you PETA fanatics because it's too real for you. You are the ones that would have driven past it and told someone about the poor deer
that got hit when you got home.

If you're passionate about animals rights then great, go out and do something in the world about it... but to sit here and demonize officers for doing
their job from your chair in your home speaks volumes of your character.

You're a liar. flat out. Unless you live where lions are native,you're going to be terrified seeing one in your back yard. A lion. Not at the zoo
behind some glass.. So quit acting tough.I don't care what type of weapon you have. Your first thought isn't going to be 'gee,there's a lion,let
me get my gun' . It's going to be what the hell is that? And what is it doing in my backyard?

That's just me being facetious...buuuuut if someone had to be eaten , I think it should be the one looking for someone to be eaten, sort
of an instant karma thing.

Rather be facetious than feces, huh? Yah me too. I read your posts and I get the hunting and prevent suffering thing in this country with our
indigenous animal populations. Both my grandfathers were foresters and I understand , culling herds and animal husbandry, etc. But these animals in
this situation tick me off. The only reason exotic animals are brought here is for money. Animal "pets", and venues like circuses and zoos are man
made tragedies for wild animals, especially predators. And I understand the need to put them down. Just saddens me... and enrages me at the same time.
Probably a lot how that guy felt.

I imagine he rescued some of them from a certain fate and was trying to give them another desperation chance? I dunno. Animal "shelters" for lions
and tigers and bears are expensive and these are so far from home and so far from their natural habitat. Having been raised from cubs in a cage, they
would be hopelessly out of their element in our woods and would only succeed in starving or diggin in garbage before being shot. What a useless,
horrible ending for such a fierce and noble species.

Wild animals should remain wild and free. Shame on those who capture, cage, break and show exotic species. Thats who should be eaten... grrrr.

You're a liar. flat out. Unless you live where lions are native,you're going to be terrified seeing one in your back yard. A lion. Not at the zoo

This story broke around 1 am yesterday. At the time of the article 25 animals were killed. The cops then had 12-15 hours until the rest of the animals
were killed. You mean to tell me that in 12 hours nobody could get these cops tranq guns?

You know what happend? These rednecks decided to go on a safari hunt. These animals were hunted down and killed and these officers need to be held
responsible for it not praised. This story is sickening and truly shows the type of person thats being hired to 'protect and serve' in this country.
How can you justify shooting an animal thats just standing outside of its cage not even being hostile?

Bondi Vet, Dr Chris Brown on the 7pm Project here in Australia on Channel 10, just mentioned the amount of Bengal tigers killed was 1.5% of the worlds
Bengal tiger population and that they had enough darts and agricultural officers to dart everyone of them. I think what we have here is a bunch of
trigger happy cops that have no idea about humanity or morality. The area was bush scrub not even built up suburbia. The importance of keeping them
alive vs the threat they actually posed was grossly miscalculated and anyone that says 18 dead Bengal tigers is worth one human life should be shot
themselves. Peace. Only in America.
